Reflection - Market Day

On the 26th of November, we had a market day. Over the past few weeks, we have been planning a stall for our Business studies assessment. It was held between T-block and R-block from 12:20 to 2.

The 3 things that went well was our planning, our sales, and our advertisements. Our plan was well organised. We managed to make sure that we were prepared for market day. We managed to get sponsored by New World, The Warehouse and Countdown. Our plan was detailed, giving us information on what we would need to buy and how much it would cost. We sent out a survey to calculate how many people would buy our churros and doughnuts, and for what costs. Something else that went well was our advertising. We hung up many posters around the school where people walk past more often. We also sent out emails to remind everyone about the market day, and to check out our stall. The third thing that went well was our sales and our tactics. We had two people out at stall serving people while one person cooking the Churros and Doughnuts. This allowed us to constantly refill our product as well were selling out fast during lunch.

The 3 things that didn't go so well was our chocolate fountain, our doughnut maker, and the batter for our doughnuts. The chocolate fountain that we bought from The Warehouse did not work. The chocolate sauce was not flowing as what we hoped. Our doughnut maker from The Warehouse also didn't work. The doughnuts turned into stale disks that didn't taste good. Also, the batter for the doughnuts when but in the deep fryer split. The mixture was too liquidy.

If I could change anything if we did this again I would bring mixing bowls, more containers/trays to hold our products, and not buying any chocolate fountains.
